Ada Lovelace Fellowship
http://2014.oshwa.org/ada-lovelace-fellowship
2014 Open Hardware Summit. September 30 October 1 2014 in Rome, Italy. The Ada Lovelace Fellowship was founded in 2013 prior to the Open Hardware Summit at MIT by Addie Wagenknecht. As a way to support and encourage women in open technology and culture to actively participate and foster a more diverse community within open source. We are just on the edge of what is possible, Let’s be the change. Addie, Alicia Gibb and all the women of OSHWA. Register for the Conference now! We are now a 501c3!

$30 2MHz Sweep Mode Function Generator - The Bitwise Rebellion
http://thebitwiserebellion.com/blog/2013/07/19/30-2mhz-sweep-mode-function-generator
30 2MHz Sweep Mode Function Generator. A function generator is one of those basic pieces of equipment that every bench should have. Unfortunately, they’re not always affordable, and when all you need are basic functions, it’s sometimes more palatable to simply slap something together with a 555 or a microcontroller to generate basic trigger signals – which is how I’ve gotten by until now.

milling – Martin's den
http://martinvb.com/wp/tag/milling
Stream of tech and randomness. Using Marlin’s auto leveling for PCB milling. April 4, 2015. As I’ve stated earlier, I designed my 3D Printer with light milling operations in mind. One of the activities I intended to tackle was the subtle art of PCB milling. It seems pretty straightforward at first: get a new/raw PCB (. Use something like FlatCAM. I’m currently using Marlin. As my printer’s firmware. After watching the advances on automated bed leveling. Or tramming, as some call it), I figured I could pr...
